Fenbrook Academy: Losing My Balance
Clarissa. Rich girl. Natasha’s closest friend. Known for being the one who’s always elegantly dressed, perfectly made up and absolutely, categorically in control.
Everyone knows the sort of person she’ll wind up with: an investment banker in a sharp suit. They’ll drive matching BMWs and do weekends in the Hamptons.
Except…what if that isn’t what she needs at all? What if she’s sick of being responsible and organized and in control?
What if what she really needs is to lose control completely, with the sort of man who doesn’t give a f*** about fashion or money or manners? A six-foot-something, muscled biker with a bad attitude and a dominant streak a mile wide, for example?
Clarissa’s about to lose her balance…and fall hard.
